If you are happy tackling the job yourself, you can purchase trim restoration kits from car accessory retailers which can help to smooth out light scratches and restore an even colour. Depending on the nature of the damage, you may wish to consult a vehicle interior specialist who can restore it for you, although this will inevitably be a more expensive option.
